 From a Scared Stray to a Safe and Loved Cat ❤️
</div>
<div>

<div>
 For several months, we'd been seeing a cat wandering around our area. She looked as though she had been living outside for quite some time – thin, scruffy and matted, with one ear that appeared to have been injured at some point.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 Eventually, we decided to start feeding her. Our hope was that, if she came close enough, we could find out whether she had an owner somewhere.
</div>
<div>
 It didn't take long before she started showing up at our house early in the mornings, waiting for breakfast.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 She was <strong>incredibly hungry</strong>. But she was also very frightened. We couldn't get close to her, let alone touch her.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 We started calling her Örjan, because her injured-looking ear was the first thing we noticed about her. In Swedish, ear is "öra", and somehow Örjan seemed like the perfect name at the time.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 Eventually, we were able to borrow a humane trap and managed to catch her. Once she had calmed down a little, we carefully scanned her for a microchip.
</div>
<div>
 There was no chip.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 After spending some time with us and slowly beginning to feel safer, we discovered that she could use a litter box. Eventually, she even allowed us to gently pet her.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 Once she had had some time to settle in, we took her to the veterinarian.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 The vet confirmed that she is female, unspayed, unmarked and not microchipped.
</div>
<div>
 Since it turned out that Örjan was actually a girl, we gave her a new name: Isis, after the ancient Egyptian goddess. ❤️
</div>
<div>
 She is underweight and has stomach problems. Her coat is dull, matted and in poor condition.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 Thankfully, her blood tests looked good.
</div>
<div>
 Her ears were found to have a bacterial and fungal infection, and she has now started treatment for them.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 But the biggest problem turned out to be her teeth.
</div>
<div>
 She has a significant amount of tartar, and the veterinarian suspects FORL/TR (tooth resorption), a painful dental disease that can affect cats. She therefore needs a proper dental examination and treatment.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 This is the expense we are asking for help with.
</div>
<div>
 Please help us give Isis a second chance
</div>
<div>
 We want to give Isis the veterinary care she needs and the chance to live a life where she doesn't have to go hungry, sleep outside or live with pain.
</div>
<div>
 If you are able to donate, even a small amount would mean a lot to us. Every contribution helps.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 And if you aren't able to donate, simply sharing this fundraiser would help us tremendously. ❤️
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 The money raised will go towards Isis's veterinary bills and, most importantly, her dental treatment.
</div>
<div>
 If there is any money left after her veterinary care has been paid for, the remaining funds will be donated to a cat rescue or shelter of our choice, either as a monetary donation or as food and other supplies they need.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 Thank you for taking the time to read Isis' story, and thank you for helping us give this little, frightened cat a second chance. ❤️

 (To clarify, we will be taking care of her, she will have a home with us, she is not up for adoption.)
